Leax Group

Since founded, LEAX Group has developed into a leading manufacturer of complete systems, subsystems and vital components as well as a service provider of mechanical solutions.

We serve major industries such as: • Commercial Vehicles• Mining and Construction• Agriculture

• General Industry• Telecom

We do not only manufacture and deliver products, but we also work closely with our customers to find an optimal solution in all aspects regarding design, material sourcing, production and logistics.

LEAX Group has expanded and got a global footprint since it started in 1982 thanks to

following a chosen strategy with a clear mission and vision. By keeping to our core values whereof the main one is “The day we cease getting better is the day we stop being good” –continuous improvements is a part of our daily work.

Serial production is our cardinal process. We build flexible production cells according to your requirements and annual volumes. For us, small volume projects mean just as much as high volume projects. our choice of factories allows us to find the best home for your products.

In many cases we have proven that we can produce better than our competi-tors – and even better than our customers, who often decide to outsource their production to us completely and gain time for other business matters.

our fLexibLe production SoLutionS

Lean manufacturinG exceLLence

Hard-to-beat competitiveness For high volume serial production, we use modern and efficient production

equipment with a high level of automation. The resulting salary share of only 15% allows us to keep producing in our home country.

We use more manual or semi-automated production methods when volumes and requirements are lower and often implement these projects in best cost countries.

We use “lean” as a mind-set in all activities, resulting in annual productivity improvements. Another factor for high efficiency is the increased use of multi-operations machines.

Leax Production SyStem (LPS)

Every good product is the result of fundamental research. At the Tech Center, our research on future electrical support concepts for engines, gearboxes and axles takes place. A close cooperation with our customers and also with our collaborating univer-sities guarantees the best end-product possible.

product design and prototyping are the subsequent steps in the development process of a new product. Engineering teams in our locations worldwide use standard tools like 3d cad design, fem and fmea analysis, amongst others, to create reliable products that also follow dfm/dfa principles.

We cover a wide range of processes throughout the value chain, starting with pre- production processes like research, development, prototyping and sourcing. obviously,

serial production is our core process supported by value adding processes like heat and surface treatment and assembly. Spare part and after sales service is a part of our daily business in the automotive industry.

From the very first step, the quality of your product is our main focus. For us, quality assurance and the protection of the environment is very important. Therefore,

we develop stable processes that follow the guidelines of our certifications (iso ts 16949, iso 9001, iso 14001 and vda 6.1).

Industry standard quality assurance tools like measuring, function tests and metal-lurgical examination ensure that our customers will only receive products of the highest quality.

• coordinated outsourcing & ramp-up • Leveraging LEAX´s automated processes • 5S Workshops

Leax production System (LpS) leaX production system ensures stable processes and continuous improvements. lps

supports leaX´s growth through lean manufacturing by eliminating waste and releasing assets and resources that is reinvested in the production.

Leax industrial System (LiS) LEAX Industrial System is critical success factors along with developed core competence

areas for managing industrial enterprises. LIS reinforces the LEAX brand and is applicable to any industrial system. lis adds further dimensions to the lps. by following lis, leaX achieves a higher level of maturity in being a world class manufacturer with global

competitiveness.

LogiSticS exceLLence – speed

High delivery precision is a standard requirement from our customer base. We are flexible to fulfill such needs on logistics. our offering ranges from pick-up by the customer to Just-In-Sequence (JIS) deliveries where we have proven results of zero default over several years.

faSt time to market

We have decades of experience in industrialisation of products. We will find the right production set-up and we will ensure that your project will be implemented in the fastest possible way. Thanks to our global footprint, we are able to start one project in several locations simultaneously so even very challenging projects with numerous components and a variety of needed processes can be managed fast.

When implementation timing is critical we often buy used machines, because they are much faster available than new machines. our expe-rienced maintenance technicians rebuild them as necessary to suit production needs. Moreover, we have a comprehensive network of suppliers for machining tools that secure shortest possible lead times on tooling.
